On First "Trailer" for The Forbidden Kingdom at 11/15/2007 11:31am

Wow. Trailer is already a let down. =\

On First Look at Quinto as Young Spock! at 11/13/2007 5:07pm

I've loved him since his 24 days and I can honestly say that there is no one they could have chose that looks more like Leonard.

(Damn no edit button!)
And for those of you wondering, I am talking about Blade Snipes.

On Green Lantern Could Be Next Hero to Get the Big Screen Treatment at 10/29/2007 06:21am

I honestly can see Wesley Snipes playing Stewart (my personal favorite incarnation). He has the voice, he has the look, and most of all he has the attitude that Stewart has

On Underworld 3 is confirmed. Cool? at 10/26/2007 6:03pm

Hell yes. Two of my favorite movies. I sure as hell would not mind a prequel (In fact, I've been checking pretty much weekly just to see if it would be confirmed or not)

July 11th is too long to wait. :(

On Sean Astin Calls Goonies Sequel "An Absolute Certainty" at 10/08/2007 4:58pm

What is with sequels to 80's cult classics being pondered now? Especially ones that are considering bringing back actors that are now 20 years older. I'm talking to you Goonies and Lost Boys.

On Potential for Serenity Sequel? at 10/04/2007 3:43pm

Could they bring back Walsh somehow? I love Alan Tudyk and it hurt when he died. :(

On If You Love 300, You Might be an Idiot at 10/04/2007 02:54am

I was kinda ticked off when I Wrote that but it's like this. Your news is good but for a site that is so professional in its news, why is Filmwad so un-professional in its editorials? Yes, it is supposed to be opinionated but a post on a site as large as this (80,000 views a week according to Alexa) needs to be well-researched and not call the reader an idiot in the process. This isn't the only post that has gotten me totally pissed off.

Those are just two on the main page. The bias in those -wreak-.

As a site with such a professional atmosphere, you have to do one of two things. 1) Stop posting crap like this. Even real newspapers go out of their way to ensure that their reader's editorials aren't overly absurd. You are responsible for what is said by your employees. 2) Redo the site. If you want to have these editorials, put them elsewhere. Right now, it's the main focus of the home page. Why? It's not news. It's not breaking news like it feels it should be. Change this.

On If You Love 300, You Might be an Idiot at 10/03/2007 3:28pm

Ok... I've been a loyal reader of Filmwad for about about 8 months. I've even whitelisted you guys in Adblock and occasionally click your ads to help support you. But... this is completely uncalled for. You sound like the friggin' president of Iran. What next? There aren't homosexuals reading Filmwad?

This movie was not meant to be a historical biopic. It was a gorefest. An action-flick. It was frggin FRANK MILLER! What don't you understand about that? It was not meant to accurately depict the homosexuality of the time.

If this movie was meant to be accurate, do you think that Xerxes would have been 8 feet tall, a seemingly transsexual, naked, and pierced to death to boot? If you do, you've lost my readership right there.

As for your whole freedom issue... are you historically illiterate? Freedom in Classical Greece was not what it is today. Slaves were the norm. I believe it was Socrates, one of the greatest philosophers of all time (May have been Cicero in Rome though), that stated that slavery was a necessary evil. Inequality was the norm of the time. Look at India's caste system of the time. Freedom as viewed by the Spartans was not what it is today.



Basically, it's like this. I've been reading Filmwad for 8 months now, as stated. I check the site 10 or so times daily. If these bullshit articles don't stop, you're losing a dedicated reader. I will get my movie news from other sources. You just called millions upon millions of people idiots, a ton of people who visit your site daily. I've kept my tongue over some of your recent "Filmwad Rant"s but I am done. If I see anymore, I'm gone and I -will- attempt to rally other readers away with me. Your choice here, Filmwad. Stop the bias or lose your readers.

On The Game Plan is Unexpected BO Winner at 10/01/2007 08:10am

I have to admit here that I'm not surprised in the least. Like you said, it's been a few weekends since the last quality family movie. Parents like taking their kids to the movies but not everyone can go see Resident Evil or crappy movies with Dane Cook in them (Nor would they want to, in the case of Good Luck Chuck).

On Biel turns down Justice League at 10/01/2007 08:09am

Snipes could play The Green Lantern fairly well, I think. Reynolds... Robin? So long as he's not hunting vampires with the duo, he can't do much bad with a role in this film.

On Guillermo del Toro's Newest Gets a Trailer ... at 08/07/2007 10:32am

Looks like a bust to me. Not in that type of movie. I'll continue to wait for Hellboy 2 since there is no way in, well, hell that it will be bad.

The video won't play for me in any browser (I tried 4 of the 11 I have installed)

You could really benefit from using bold formatting, I think. And what happened to the digg button for your editorials?
